SUMMARY: Meteorologist Grant Skinner reports an active tropical season with three named systems, none posing a threat to the U.S. The post-tropical storm Isaac is weakening, while Tropical Depression Joy is also diminishing. Tropical Storm Kirk may intensify to a major hurricane, but it will remain in the open Atlantic. A potential new system in the Eastern Atlantic is expected to form but will also stay out to sea. In the Caribbean and Southwestern Gulf, an area of disorganized showers has a medium chance of developing over the next week. The local forecast predicts dry conditions before increased rain chances by the end of the week.

Today brought temperatures slightly above average and lots of sunshine! You can expect more of the same for the first half of the work week. Into tonight, temperatures will slowly drop into the upper-60’s with low-70’s at the coastline by tomorrow morning. We will see slightly more humid conditions into Tuesday, but a lack of lift in our atmosphere will keep rain chances near zero. Highs will be back to around 90 degrees by Tuesday afternoon, and we will see just a few clouds throughout the day. Wednesday will bring more sunshine and drier conditions. By Thursday and Friday, deeper tropical moisture will move into the area bringing increased rain chances. Highs will be cooler in the mid-80’s thanks to the rain and increased cloud cover. Rip current risk will remain low until late Wednesday when it increases to moderate. In the tropics, we are still monitoring Isaac, Joyce, and Kirk, but they do not pose a threat to the US or the Gulf Coast. An area in the eastern Atlantic will likely develop into a tropical system over the next week, but it will stay out in the open Atlantic. There is one area that is expected to enter the southwestern Gulf over the next several days. It has a medium chance of development, and this would at the very least bring tropical moisture to parts of the Gulf Coast. It does not pose an immediate threat to our area.

SUMMARY: As temperatures drop in the Tennessee Valley, many are experiencing issues with their heating systems, prompting concerns about burning smells. This is often due to dust buildup, which is typically harmless if it dissipates within 5 to 10 minutes. To avoid heating problems, experts recommend scheduling a system tune-up and ensuring that all entrances have proper weather stripping to prevent heat loss. Regularly replacing air filters also helps maintain the system’s efficiency. For energy savings, the U.S. Department of Energy suggests setting thermostats as low as comfortably possible.

With the drop in temperatures, comes an increase in the number of people cranking up the heat for the first time since last winter.

SUMMARY: A mistrial was declared in the murder case of Sheila A.G., accused of aiding her son in the murder of Brooklyn Sims, after drama in the jury room. During deliberations, concerns arose when one juror was accused of distraction, reportedly doing crossword puzzles. Additionally, tensions escalated due to an argumentative juror, leading two jurors to feel unsafe, one of whom had health concerns. The defense moved for a mistrial, which Judge Coleman Robinson granted. A new jury will hear the case, as the judge emphasized the need for decency and appropriate conduct among jurors to reach a fair verdict.
